LAST TIME ON DRAGON BALL Z: THE GODAI SYSTEM

The Z fighters, after spending weeks if not months aboard the super elite star fleet, have finally closed in on the Gobai System. They all boarded a bigger galactic patrol ship where they met Jaici who told them their objective, a mission of peace. The Z fighters were split into groups and given specialised outfits to withstand the conditions of the Gobai System.

Can the Z fighters bring peace to the system? Can Goku and Vegeta defeat the Yasamalas aboard their own ship? FIND OUT NOW

AGE 775, AUGUST 10TH, NEAR PLANET SARKINIA

"I'm soo booooreedddd" moans Goten, as he hangs off the bunk bed they were provided with only his thighs stopping him from falling and his head upside down. Trunks is lying on the bottom bunk "I hear ya Goten, you'd think if they brought kids along they'd give us some toys or something at least".

An angry sigh comes from the corner of the room, the two boys look over to see Piccolo standing up from his meditation stance. Piccolo looks at the two boys angrily "you two have no patience, you were given plenty of crap you just broke it all!". The boys tear up at the yelling as Piccolo turns away from them and sits on the ground as he glances back at the two boys "…sorry…I'm bored too".

Trunks then begins talking only to be immediately cut off "y-you guys! I can see it! I SEE SARKINIA". Trunks rams himself against the window beside Goten as he quickly says "YEAH THAT'S GOTTA BE IT". The two boys examine the planet but then in unison, realise the same thing and shout it out as well "IT'S ALL FROZEN".

AGE 775, AUGUST 10TH, PLANET SARKINIA

Planet Sarkinia, the planet without fire, while Goten and Trunks had a very…simple description of it, they weren't exactly wrong. On this planet, being the furthest from the sun as well as no means of heating themselves up via fire has left this planet in a permanent ice age. As far as the eye can see it's glaciers in place of mountains and the few animals are woolly to the point you can barely see their eyes.

An average resident of this planet, a Sarkinian, follows the same principles as the animals of their planet. They have a thick coat of wool but not as thick as the animals of the planet, having clearly visible slits for eyes. They have thick arms for throwing spears but their legs are not as developed, for comparison they'd be a bit larger in size than an average human's leg as well as the coat of wool on top.

Near a lake, well not really a lake it's closer to a puddle since all water is made from melting ice with ki, the ship of our heroes is fast approaching. "Alright! We're nearly there Goten" "yeah, yeah let's go go go" the two boys are flying around the ship in excitement until they hear an AI voice in the ship. "Landing in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1" suddenly the ship halts to a stop as the boys jump up and down in front of the hatch as Piccolo stands behind them.

The hatch slowly opens as a staircase juts out from the side of the ship, embedding itself into the snowy terrain beneath. Trunks immediately jumps into the snow followed quickly by Goten as the two boys make a snow angel at light speed. They jump up to look at their work before beginning to fly around the place as Piccolo watches "…they definitely needed someone else with them".

The two boys land down beside Piccolo as Trunks says "so what should we do first Piccolo?". The namekian is in thought for a moment before saying "the obvious thing to do is find the king or queen of the planet if there is one. They'd be the only one who could even try to make peace with the other planets" the boys look up at Piccolo as Goten says "…how do we do that?"

Piccolo sighs and calmly says "I, I don't know Goten" when suddenly they hear a noise of shifting snow. The 3 are on high alert, unable to detect a power until "IT GOT ME" Piccolo and Trunks turn to see Goten flailing about beneath something that looks like a cat. Trunks snickers "Goten open your eyes, it's just a cat" Goten opens his eyes and says "oh…yea" but the feline has already craned its neck towards Trunks as it lunges at the boy.

Trunks was taken by surprise and is unable to stop this "attack" as he is scratched all over. This is when Piccolo calmly walks over to Trunks and picks the cat up between his index finger and thumb by the back of its neck. Piccolo turns the cat to face it and says "it has 4 eyes…it probably needs extra eyesight to catch prey, can't exactly imagine animals are abundant here".

As the cat stares at Piccolo's eyes with all 4 of its eyes, it seems to become more docile. The cat creature has thick, white fur which by human standards would make it completely adorable. It reaches out and to Piccolo's surprise, it starts playing with his antenna, Piccolo pulls back slightly but the cat just leans closer and keeps messing at the Namekian.

Piccolo stares the cat in the eyes "this one's probably just a kid, must've been separated from its pack" Piccolo then lifts the cat up higher and observes it "seems to be a female" as the boys divert their eyes. Perhaps the cat recognised a more father-like figure in Piccolo's sharp eyes but it had a much more passive reaction to the Namekian than the boys.

The boys watch as Piccolo and the cat just stare at each other until Goten says "can we keep it?". Piccolo sighs loudly and says "no Goten we cannot keep it" but then Trunks speaks up "but it likes you, you should keep it". Piccolo looks back at the cat as it stares deep into his eyes "cmon Piccolooooo" says Goten. Piccolo looks to the cat, back to the boys, to the cat, to the boys, the cat, the boys, cat, boys, cat, boys until "oh my god okay".

The two boys cheer as they rush up to the cat, the cat's eyes then narrow as he starts hissing in an immensely low pitch. Trunks backs off slowly as Goten jumps away, Trunks, trying to look brave then says "s-so…what's his name". Piccolo's eyes widen as if he has just realised he can't keep calling the cat "it" or "cat thing", Piccolo is in deep thought and then says "…cat".

The boys nearly fall over as Goten says "you can't just call it cat, I don't even think it IS a cat". Piccolo pinches the bridge of his nose as he thinks before recalling a memory "its name is…Peneko". The two boys squint at Piccolo as Goten says "Peneko? Isn't that… that one toy bear thing?". Piccolo nods and says "it's a whole story but anyway we've wasted too much time, we should find a village". Piccolo then begins walking off with Peneko in hand as the feline then climbs up onto his head and lies down, still thoroughly focused on the Namekian's antenna.

Goten and Trunks follow behind Piccolo as Goten crosses his arms, obviously only now realising that it is quite cold "isn't this suit m-meant to make us not cold?" Piccolo turns back and says "you haven't frozen to death yet have you?" Fear enters Goten's eyes "I-it's THAT cold?, I thought it was just yknow…chilly" which gets a chuckle from Trunks "if it was chilly we wouldn't need to be suffocated in these coats Goten".

The 3 all trudge on through the snow, Goten and Trunk's teeth are chattering but Piccolo remains stoic. Piccolo then says "come on, we best speed up before you break your teeth by chattering like that". Piccolo begins to rise off the ground but then sharply inhales as Peneko digs into his head with her sharp claws. Piccolo ignores the pain as he begins to fly as fast as he can go with Peneko flying off.

Goten and Trunks follow behind Piccolo as they all survey the area, kilometres of pure snow broken up only by patches of ice. The odd animal they see is never in the best of states, small in size due to larger animals requiring more food to survive. Strangely, it seems the planet is full of craters as though it is a moon akin to earth's moon.

As they fly Piccolo finally begins to sense something "we're nearly at a village you two" which excites the boys. They fly for maybe another minute until finally the village comes into view, a cheer comes from Goten and Trunks at the sight. The three go into a swan dive until they all land in front of the village at the same time, their faces drop.

It can barely even be called a village, barely any houses haphazardly built with seemingly whatever they could find, leading the houses to be more like igloos. They see a few people, short in stature in clothing similar to them, made from the hide of the animals of Sarkinia. They all walked around with clubs in their hand, one of the loudest sounds in the village is the grumbling of stomachs. "W-what happened here" says Piccolo.
